T0 Y0 ,CITI E The A. S. R. expresses American Democracy in the Roosevelt High School. Every democracy means privileges, it also means responsibilities. Every student may vote for the general officers and for roll representatives. In the roll room every student may participate in the discussions of school policies. Before the Advisory Council for minor offenses he meets fellow students for a settlement of the case. These are his privileges. His obligations are to use his best judgment in the choice of chosen leaders and to support the policies and plans that these leaders have adopted for the student body. As a representative democracy our organiza- tion must be one of limited power. We are res- ponsible to our parents in tl1e community, to the Superintendenfs Office and to the Seattle School Board for our decisions and our performances. Inside the field of our authority the activities of our organization have constantly increased. In study hall control. this year we have undertaken the most difficult task yet assumed. Its continued success will constitute one more illustration of the cooperative attitude of the student body. So long as our organization continues to ex- perience judgment on the part of students in the choice of leaders, assumption of responsibility and intelligence of execution of these leaders, and support from the student body in the fulfill- ment of the plans and purposes of the organiza- tion, just so long will our A. S.. R. .continue to function as a successful unit in the whole broad plan of American democracy. ' ' sxgN N 5 I 'alll I f H xxx s I, 1 1:11 I I I U I 0 I A QW : 3--1519, ,1- , , If ll

It began frankly in the spirit of an adventure in cooperation and good-fellowship. That it has increased in stature and responsibility must be al- most self-evident. Year by year we have seen it grow-here. assuming a 11ew re- sponsibility-there. tackling an old prob- lem in a new way. The temptation now might be to say- we have arrivedewe are a success! But. too often of late we have seen self-satisfied societies decay and fall. The individual citizen expected the government to do all for him while he took his ease. The lesson is clear. The continued growth of the A. S. R. will depend upon its increasing sup- port by the individual student. If the part played by the individual student is to be efficient it must reflect his growth in loyalty and self-control. As these qualities are developed. law-cnforce- ment will give way to law-observanceg the individual will come to feel a personal interest ill the group and the group an interest in him.

Their work in the little office under the stairs is unheraldecl. but day after day it goes on. These teachers direct . students who lag in their studies to simplified classes to dissolve their per- A.-,g' plexity.
